i'm reading over this and it's about as clever as those dudes in college who like to do poetry jam

in fact, this is literally a poetry jam over a shitty beat

Why do I have the feeling you're a big jpop fan?

 

[iavi]

What would you guys say if I told you I don't care for Watch the Throne, but I honestly enjoy Waka Flocka, Soulja Boy, and Gucci Mane?

This mindset isn't as controversial as you're thinking.

click on the yellow lyrics to get the meanings. If you don't think what's being alluded to, discussed and suggested isn't deep, it's because you didn't know what they were really saying in the first place.

Yup...I understood it. It's not exactly like trying to follow Nietzsche or something.

It's that trunk bangerz music. The lyrics are shit but it's fun.

[Dreams-Visions]

Yup...I understood it.

[MThanded]

Jenga, what do you listen to?

 

[Zabuza]

Why do I have the feeling you're a big jpop fan?

J-pop is badass if you don't have the lyrics. I could listen to anime openings and endings all day.

Too bad he dragged Kanye along with him.

[Ominym]

That was pretty awesome.

Also, those lasers were more exciting than the Lupe album.

we're going to lose a whole generation to these pied-pipers of satan.

[Blastoise]

Roman Gravas right?

He's got a pretty specific style. Really liked the vid but kind of expected it because he was directing.

 

[Jenga]

This thread is just terrible. in other news I refuse to watch this video for fear that it might ruin a perfectly good song.

hwhat's wrong with this thread?

 

[EloquentM]

your first post in the thread for starters.

 

[enzo_gt]

This thread...

...is like concentrated GAF-Hop actually.

 

[Zabuza]

that post was a well thought out opinion.

it doesn't. no chopping of the song or anything. works well, imo.

 

[Boss Man]

Wow, this Rap Genius website is hilarious by the way. I'm currently looking at a dissection of Nicki Minaj's "Stupid Hoe." I think it may be just a tad over-analyzed.

 

[wenis]

Too much to handle. It's GAF Hop with pulp and like the skin of the orange.

 

[Vermillion]

Watch the Throne was such a trash album.

:|

*goes to read*

edit: well, it's accurate at least. it's just that there's no additional depth to get out of her lyrics. Just a colloquialism translation. lol

 

[Emwitus]

Wrongest thread.

 

[EloquentM]

that post was a well thought out opinion.

yes, yes it was, but that begs the question of whether it was necessary and thought provoking to discussion. I think not.

it doesn't. no chopping of the song or anything. works well, imo.

well I was reading the posts in this thread and by the looks of it it seems the video has disparity from the meaning of the song.

It's kind of the charm of it. The contributors are all pretty witty, and often throw random shots at other artists in the explanations. I love it.

I don't know...

Cause I pull up and I’m stuntin but I ain't a stuntman

To “stunt” is to show off, go hard, etc. Nicki stunts, but that’s not to be confused with a “stuntman”; she’s more like an actual actor who everybody knows, not the stuntman who no one has ever heard of

Yes I’m rockin Jordans but I ain't a jumpman

This is basically a metaphor stating that she might do certain things similar to someone else, but she’s not doing it simply to “follow in their footsteps” or because they lack originality. In fact, it could be intentionally done to diss that person…

I really don't think she was thinking this, at all. This type of metaphor use is something Lil' Wayne has been doing for a while (maybe even who wrote this) and it's more about the wordplay than any kind of deep meaning. I know there are some good rappers with meaningful lyrics, but I don't think it goes this deep or that rap music is some kind of encoded message.

I'm not sure if this site is entirely serious or not, but some of it is very funny lol.

 

[Ominym]

They offer far more credence to any words having fallen out of Lil B's mouth.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

well I was reading the posts in this thread and by the looks of it it seems the video has disparity from the meaning of the song.

I think its appropriate in the setting (emphasis on the Greek statues of Gods past has an inherent tie-in to Jay's verse) and in how sober they both are.

It also feels like an appropriate way to present the nature of men living and living in a life-changing moment by leveraging the visuals of riots and protests, which represent transition and often highlighted by acting on personal desires at their highest.

I find it clever and appropriate. Especially given the state of the world. Others may disagree.

I'm not sure if this site is entirely serious or not, but some of it is very funny lol.

it's just a collection of meanings as written and presented by users of the website. things are usually corrected if found to be wrong by others who help clarify and interpret lines in verses.

it's not always going to be serious, no. But I mean...if you pick an ignorant song, you're probably going to get a certain amount of silly comments.

 

[Sai-kun]

So many haters.

Great song, cool video. Loved the lasers.

 

[crazy monkey]

that was a very good video and song. First time hearing it. On radio they play gotta have it. I love that song. Hope fully video of that is great too.
